The construction sector, especially the production of such a commonly used material as concrete, requires the implementation of solutions that reduce the carbon footprint. This is possible, among other things, by replacing coarse natural aggregate with secondary materials. The article presents the results of testing the strength characteristics of concrete, which the granite aggregate was replaced with recycled aggregate originating from the crushing of ceramic elements of sanitary fittings.
